ABC to launch fall season early

Published on August 14, 1995.

ABC announced plans to launch its new fall season six days prior to the official start of Nielsen Media Research's prime-time season. ABC said its 1995-96 prime-time schedule will debut beginning Sept. 12 with special previews of new series "The Monroes," "Maybe This Time" and "Murder One." Nielsen's official season begins Sept. 18, but a Nielsen spokesman said it reports all individual show ratings on a "premiere-to-date" basis.
